Samyang AF 35mm F/1.4 FE II 鏡頭 (Sony E)

The autofocus is noticeably quicker and quieter than my old setup, and the f/1.4 bokeh at 35mm makes indoor shots of my kids actually look cinematic. The weather-sealed build gives me peace of mind on dusty hikes, and it focuses close enough for decent tabletop shots too.

Took this out for a street shoot as soon as it arrived, and the autofocus just locks on instantly even in low light. The f/1.4 bokeh is creamy enough that I’m already planning to use it for interviews too.

I was worried about the size, but it balances perfectly on my A7III without feeling front-heavy. The manual focus clutch is smooth and lets me switch quickly between scenes.
